significant fact m connection with the story is that h b duryea to-day dis missed danny moher who rode sweeper 11 and engaged frankie o'neill another american boy to pilot sweeper 11 in the remainder of his stake engagements it i will be remembered ln the story of the race that a note was sounded indicating that something was wrong with the show ing of the duryea colt after the derby de courcy forbes told the examiner cor respondent i don't like this sweeper business i insist he didn't gallop a foot of the way an investigation to-day shows that m the opinion of a large number of racing men sweeper 11 was doped bookmakers are suspected the trainer is unable to account for the miserable showing of the colt it is sus pected that two or three bookmakers who stood to lose fortunes on a sweeper 11 victory know more about the doping than they would care to say it was certain that when sweeper 11 left his stable for the big race he had never looked fitter when he returned to his stall after the derby the colt was listless and feeble he was kept m the stable until saturday when he was taken out for an exercise canter he moved very stiffly and appeared to show the effects of some strong stimulant in the derby he ran like a doped horse to the astonishment of the trainer who considered sweeper 11 a certainty danny maher said after the race that he couldn't understand the per formance for m the newmarket sweeper 11 was pulling him out of the saddle and when released for the final dash shot like an arrow to beat easily horses that de feated him m the derby betting arouses suspicion the most sensational feature of the whole affair was the betting that took place be fore the race au possible rivals to sweeper lomond cylgad and white star had dropped out of the classic and yet the duryea colt remained at 3 to 1 under ordinary circumstances a 2,000-gulnea win ner who appeared on public form to be fourteen pounds better than any horse m the race would be an odds-on choice the day of the event on the eve of the derby m london clubs bookmakers were freely laying 3 to 1 against the colt m big sums in the tattersall's ring on the day of the race the anxiety of the bookmakers to lay sweeper 11 was so noticeable and so con trary to usual practice that several astute players who intended supporting duryea's colt figured that something was wrong and refused to bet on the race that this scandal may never be probed is problematical such things occur on the english turf though seldom m connection with the derby the english jockey club which refused richard croker

committee m seating the Taft delegates from the thirteenth district of indiana he said in the thirteenth indiana district the convention which assembled to elect two delegates to Chicago contained a clear and uncontested majority of boosevelt men but the chairman a Taft man re fused a roll call and declared the Taft delegates elected on viva voce vote where upon the majority of the convention elected two boosevelt delegates affidavits of all the members of the majority wore laid before the committee : showing a clear majority of the members of the convention by their own sworn statements had voted for boosevelt and three other affidavits of members were submitted showing these three men had voted neither for roosevelt nor Taft so that the proof was absolute that the Taft delegates had obtained ouly a minority of the convention yet the national commit tee seated the two men tlie fraudulency of whose claims had been thus shown if the contest was one for the nomi nation of an alderman m new york city and obscure men ln the democratic and republican parties who were acting as election officials ln a given district were guilty of such conduct and their guilt was proved they would be sent to the penitentiary such conduct comes dangerously near being treason to the whole spirit of our institutions to he whole spirit of demo cratic free government if the national committee continues

scandal on the british turf m ten years became known to-day when the sporting weekly the looking glass announced that sweeper 11 the american colt which started favorite m the deri was doped before the race sweeper 11 was heavily backed by amer icans nicluding j i morgan who is said to have lost 60,000 wall street men are said to have cabled several hundred thousand dollars to london a significant fact m connection with the story is that h b duryea to-day dis missed danny moher who rode sweeper 11 and engaged frankie o'neill another american boy to pilot sweeper 11 in the remainder of his stake engagements it i will be remembered ln the story of the race that a note was sounded indicating that something was wrong with the show ing of the duryea colt after the derby de courcy forbes told the examiner cor respondent i don't like this sweeper business i insist he didn't gallop a foot of the way an investigation to-day shows that m the opinion of a large number of racing men sweeper 11 was doped bookmakers are suspected the trainer is unable to account for the miserable showing of the colt it is sus pected that two or three bookmakers who stood to lose fortunes on a sweeper 11 victory know more about the doping than they would care to say it was certain that when sweeper 11 left his stable for the big race he had never looked fitter when he returned to his stall after the derby the colt was listless and feeble he was kept m the stable until saturday when he was taken out for an exercise canter he moved very stiffly and appeared to show the effects of some strong stimulant in the derby he ran like a doped horse to the astonishment of the trainer who considered sweeper 11 a certainty danny maher said after the race that he couldn't understand the per formance for m the newmarket sweeper 11 was pulling him out of the saddle and when released for the final dash shot like an arrow to beat easily horses that de feated him m the derby betting arouses suspicion the most sensational feature of the whole affair was the betting that took place be fore the race au possible rivals to sweeper lomond cylgad and white star had dropped out of the classic and yet the duryea colt remained at 3 to 1 under ordinary circumstances a 2,000-gulnea win ner who appeared on public form to be fourteen pounds better than any horse m the race would be an odds-on choice the day of the event on the eve of the derby m london clubs bookmakers were freely laying 3 to 1 against the colt m big sums in the tattersall's ring on the day of the race the anxiety of the bookmakers to lay sweeper 11 was so noticeable and so con trary to usual practice that several astute players who intended supporting duryea's colt figured that something was wrong and refused to bet on the race that this scandal may never be probed is problematical such things occur on the english turf though seldom m connection with the derby the english jockey club which refused richard croker permission to train his horses at newmarket never takes any notice of anything herman b duryea who does not take much interest m english racing and dislikes publicity will not press or demand an

peniten tiary offenses oyster bay june u colonel boose velt issued another fiery protest to-night against the course of affairs at Chicago he laid special stress on the action of the national committee m seating the Taft delegates from the thirteenth district of indiana he said in the thirteenth indiana district the convention which assembled to elect two delegates to Chicago contained a clear and uncontested majority of boosevelt men but the chairman a Taft man re fused a roll call and declared the Taft delegates elected on viva voce vote where upon the majority of the convention elected two boosevelt delegates affidavits of all the members of the majority wore laid before the committee : showing a clear majority of the members of the convention by their own sworn statements had voted for boosevelt and three other affidavits of members were submitted showing these three men had voted neither for roosevelt nor Taft so that the proof was absolute that the Taft delegates had obtained ouly a minority of the convention yet the national commit tee seated the two men tlie fraudulency of whose claims had been thus shown if the contest was one for the nomi nation of an alderman m new york city and obscure men ln the democratic and republican parties who were acting as election officials ln a given district were guilty of such conduct and their guilt was proved they would be sent to the penitentiary such conduct comes dangerously near being treason to the whole spirit of our institutions to he whole spirit of demo cratic free government if the national committee continues
